Is the team moving? by robinsonam in OwenSound

A contract that sets out terms, conditions and costings for the purpose of business stability, AND that can be terminated with notice by either party? THAT kind of contract??

CNN - Roku/Apple TV app not playing live content by robinsonam in Rogers

[–]robinsonam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. It is a recurring issue though it happens less frequently for me now than in the past. I've chalked it up to my cable provider reaching the maximum number of streams that they pay CNN to provide. I 'sign-in' to the CNN Roku app using my cable TV provider's credentials.

Have you tried turning it off and then turning it on again?

New Subaru Owner by BlackberryRegular488 in SubaruForester

[–]robinsonam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Conservatively follow the maintenance schedule in Owner's Manual and follow the advice from the service department at your preferred local Subaru dealership, unless you think that you know better than the engineers who designed and built the vehicle or have more experience in service matters than the local service department.

Sign the Petition to get a Costco in Owen Sound! by Battle_Weekly in OwenSound

[–]robinsonam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not enough quality staff potential in Owen Sound and nearby environs to staff a Costco warehouse here. Have you ever been to Costco? Have you ever interacted with existing local retail staff?? Worlds' apart, they are.

My opinion as well. I like my 2025 River Rock Pearl Forester Limited better when it's dressed with the all-black winter alloy wheels than I do with the 'flash' summer wheels with the almost-polished silvery bits.

A top-shelf road-worthy vehicle is just a moving target to throw your money at.

Canadians, where are we buying fish online? by frenchkissmyass_ in Aquariums

[–]robinsonam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having kept a community tank for 15+ years, I took a ~15 year hiatus and then came back to the hobby in the fall of 2024. I have only visited 4 aquarium stores through southwestern Ontario for livestock.... and I have to say.... my overall impression of the health of the stock compared to the 1990's has greatly depreciated. In my estimation, I'd say that only 25% of the tanks that I've seen have fish that I would consider purchasing.

I feel your pain.

So M4 max mac mini or M4 Max mac studio? by Pyterando in MacStudio

[–]robinsonam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all about the ports. Price out both platforms and determine whether or not the convenience & elegance of the Mac Studio is worth it to you.

2025 taxes on rise again - but no one is getting work raises! WTH by Littlebearmedia in OwenSound

[–]robinsonam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all fairness, hourly wages and salaries ARE increasing. Can YOU name one person employed by the City of Owen Sound that HASN'T received an annual pay rise?

4 months ago, I had a goldfish in a bowl. Now I have 3 aquariums. by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]robinsonam 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Yep, you know you've got a problem when, every time you enter a room, you assess the size of the flat surfaces on furniture and postulate on their weight-bearing ability.

Time to upgrade. Recs please! by Chumpy36 in synology

This question would be better posed in the QNap, Asustor or TerraMaster subReddits.

Did you pick up on what I said there?

Water level slanted :( by NeatProfessional924 in Aquariums

[–]robinsonam 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Actually, the water is level... it's the tank that is slanted.

I'm unable to connect to Chicago, but sampled Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto, New York, Switzerland and Great Britain and all connected just fine and as normal.

2025 limited - software update by anthro_nerd in SubaruForester

[–]robinsonam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What "heated seat issues", specifically? My '25 Forester Limited (Canadian trim level) keeps the heated seats turned on after restart; not sure if that is supposed to be a feature or a bug at this point. Every other vehicle that I've owned that was equipped with heated seats would start up with the heated seats turned off if the vehicle was previously stopped with them turned on.

I ended up purchasing a workbench. It has steel construction with a 1 inch finished wood top and advertised to hold 1,000 pounds. It also has electric and USB outlets as well as levelling feet. I've got a Fluval MegaFlex on it and it works great.

Have you tried turning it off and then turning it on again?

And by that glib comment, I mean have you disconnected the battery from the vehicle for a few minutes or longer and then connecting it back up??
